The registration day of the new semester for Hechi's schools fell on Feb 24 this year and many school gates were swamped with parents and traffic.

To guarantee safe passage for pedestrians, the city's entire traffic police department was in attendance to ensure that everything went smoothly.

As a result, no traffic jams or accidents were caused.
